Summary

This study looked at whether combining McKenzie exercises with nerve-gliding moves could help people with cervical radiculopathy—a pinched nerve in the neck causing arm pain. 46 adults aged 35-50 with a bulging disc in the lower neck took part. Over 4 weeks, they did these exercises to see if pain, neck movement, and daily function improved. The goal was to find a simple, drug-free way to ease symptoms.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age limit 35-50 Years. * Both male and female participants. * Median nerve related symptoms. * Participants presenting with unilateral C5-C7 cervical radiculopathy associated with a posterolateral cervical disc bulge were included in the study. * Ipsilateral neck rotation, Spurling's test, median nerve neurodynamic testing, and ULNTT were considered positive if they reproduced unilateral C5-C7 radicular arm pain and negative if they did not. * Pain reported as greater than 4-9/10 on the NPRS, persisting for more than 3 months. * Neck Disability Index score 20-80. * Participants demonstrating moderate restriction in cervical range of motion, defined as flexion \<40°, extension \<50°, lateral flexion \<35°, and rotation \<70°, were included. Exclusion Criteria: * A cervical spine fracture. * Spondylolisthesis, subluxation, and cervical instability * Radicular symptoms in both upper extremities. * TB, cancer, heart illness, osteoporosis. * Prolapsed intervertebral disc, neurological problems, any trauma or localized infection in the neck area. * Upper motor neuron disease, cervical stenosis, and bone and joint metabolic diseases. * Hyperelasticity and Thoracic outlet syndrome * Hyper lordotic if exceeds than normal angle * Psychiatric conditions including sadness and phobia/obsession. * Individuals who have had cervical spine surgery within a year.
